A Deeper Shade of Desperate.

by SmileeItsBritt   Apr 23, 2007


I'm not satisfied with your hurtful words
Or maybe lack there of,
I attempt to loose myself in memories
But I'm cut with these shards of broken trust
This silence serves you oh so well
This heart is yours for breaking.
but if that doesn't fulfill your burning desire
My happiness is for your taking
So selfish in the promises you wove
Stating the obvious, you lied.
Each smile that does lace your lips,
Could never make up for the tears that I've cried
Don't you understand I need this?
This could truly kill what's left inside
I'm begging you with every ounce of hope I have left
Please, you cant leave me behind.
So maybe I'm a deeper shade of desperate,
But you're a darker tone of pathetic at best,
You left this broken heart to die here
I hope that you're happy, you really deserve it.
Now that's a lie we can both keep.

    You've expressed feelings of pain, hurt and betrayal very well. I especially like:

    Each smile that does lace your lips
    and
    So maybe I'm a deeper shade of desperate

    Wow. I really liked this. The title is what really pulled me into it. And then when I read it I was captivated from beginning to end. A few lines sounded like they were from a song..actually the whole poem did, so I liked that. One thing though, in the line, "I attempt to loose myself in memories" .. loose should be lose.

    "So maybe I'm a deeper shade of desperate,
    But you're a darker tone of pathetic at best,"

    ^^ Those lines were...wow..amazing, I loved them. =)
